Description: This session will examine bias from a social science perspective. It will discuss the three types of systemic biases using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) model. The NIST model details the three types as historical bias, societal bias, and institutionalbias. The session will also provide several examples of each type to provide a framework for identifying the social structure of bias.

Description: You’ve written the position papers, updated the models, and designed the required disclosures, but you may be wondering how to explain the results during interim financial reporting periods to company management as well as other stakeholders. This session will explore ways to adapt existing management reporting and offer ideas for new metrics. We will explore various methods for analyzing DAC amortization patterns, market risk benefit reserve patterns, and Liability for Future Benefits (LFPB) movements. In addition, this session will explore ways to integrate changes in LDTI with business planning and other broader business issues such as product pricing considerations and reinsurance strategy.
